XENA

• XENA

  "I've seen some fucked up shit through the eyes of someone else. People betting it all on a few tokens. A girl there selling herself for money. A guy there committing murder after he's done with her. Never trust technology like that." - Xena

  

• Intro

  "You're here in the big city for the fame, aren't you? Why aim low? Take the town by storm!"

  Nicknames: She prefers just Xena or Ari, but quite frankly couldn't care.
  Race: Humanoid Cyborg
  Gender: Female
  Age: Around 24
  Ethnicity: Chinese/American
  Occupation: In between jobs. Short for saying she got fired. She used to work online as a social media host for numerous companies. But after she sold a few secrets, they eventually caught on.
  Social Status: Although it's low, she's collected a great deal of funds.
  Family: Her mother was a stripper, and her father a nobody. Neither of them are here now.

• Appearance

  Height: 5'8", slightly taller than the average.
  Weight: 195 lbs. This is actually a bit heavy for her, but because certain parts of her body are more machine than organic, the mechanical parts have added weight.
  Complexion: Lightly tanned skin, free of blemishes.
  Face Shape: Strong jawed with a wide forehead, and a slightly flattened nose.
  Eyes: Because of her cybernetics, they glow a silver, although they are naturally black.
  Hair: Pure white and slightly waved, reaching the small of her back. Her original hair color is also black.
  Upper body: She has unusually wide shoulders, with a thick neck. Her chest is large, although it's possibly due to enhancements. She doesn't say.
  Lower-Body: Long legs, fairly thick, and wide hips. All in all, her body is very curvy.
  Specific Details: She never wears jewelry or accessories, but enjoys dark makeup.
  Common Outfit: her combat outfit is tight fitting, and black. Outside of it, she likes to dress quirky.

• Personality

  Personality: Smart mouthed and pessimistic, Xena is what many would call gutter trash. She's naturally rebellious and stubborn, and often attempts to break rules and regulations just out of spite. Although this may make her seem brash and ignorant, she's quite the information gatherer, and greatly enjoys helping out the little people in the world. She's cunning and discreet, and often finding some way to strike it rich in the world.
  
  Likes: Dancing, music, the internet, and money. Definitely money. She also enjoys to gamble and bet in her free time.
  Dislikes: Optimists, corporations, and sometimes robotics. She's easily annoyed by AI systems. While technology doesn't bother her, false personalities and computer programmed VIs do.
  Tools: The cybernetics in her eyes allow her to see humanistic traits. Unlike many who use cybernetic eyes, she can't see through walls or unlock firewalls. She can, however, read human body temperatures, see any cybernetic parts within the body, and read facial ticks in nanoseconds. It makes her a very good gambler.
  Goals: Strike it rich while striking the companies down. She doesn't trust big cities. Her goal is mainly to help herself and the little people in life.
  Fears: Being unable to accomplish what she does, or being unskilled. Xena feels best when she's in control of a situation and is well versed in what to do.
  Philosophy of life: Fuck it. No way around mistakes. Just do what you can, and don't be stupid.
  Strange Behaviors: Besides being a pen biter (much to others' disgust) she curses often in Mandarin Chinese.
  Sexual Preference/ Fetishes: She's never been in love nor has she had much care for romance. Generally pessimistic in the field, Xena simply assumes she will die alone, and that's perfectly fine.
  Education/Training: Her skills were generally obtained while trying to survive the streets. Most of them are information gathering techniques and being able to work with people. This allows her to get every story, and the best answers. She's also a keen marketer, making her valuable to companies. Discreet, and well versed with knives and small arms, she's perfect for black ops and quiet missions.

• Backstory

  Although born in New York, Xena rarely saw city lights as a child. She lived so far beneath the skyscrapers and deep within the slums of the city that it was far too dangerous to explore the outside world. Instead, most of her interaction came from the internet and other sources.
  
  Born to a single mother, and a prostitute at that, Xena had very little to look up to. Her mother was kind, but never very focused on her child. Instead, Xena learned much of her crucial skills on her own. When the bar that her mother worked in was eventually shut down due to gang activity, she chose to simply leave the city. Her mother, though sad, knew it meant one less mouth to feed, and eventually let her go.
  
  But rarely did life go as planned, and Xena learned early into the game that her lack of experience in the world would be her major downfall. She was attacked, scammed, and assaulted in many ways. And for much of it, she blamed her mother for not teaching her the necessities of the city. But these mistakes also helped form the careful personality she has today.
  
  To be sure she could never be taken advantage of again, she went through the black market to install her eyes. This also lead to meeting new friends and making new connections. Some of which became very useful when her work in the underworld came to life. Stricken with her dirty living, Xena now plots to overthrow corporations that ruin lives of nobodies such as herself. As well as make a good profit in the process.
  
  For the most part, she does this through information collecting and selling. Often by going undercover in the corporation itself.
